I bought BuildABlogStore for under $200. For that low price, it's amazingly good, in terms of both the high-quality keyword rich content it generates, and all the extras like pre-entered comments, thumbnail excerpts, and good looking auctions from eBay, Amazon, Link Share, CJ, etc. I put my first BABS blog up not too long ago, and it instantly looked like a quality, well-visited, well-backlinked authoritative blog. Indexing and real income started up very quickly.
I have also been using Greg Jacobs' WPMage system for several months, and made good money off that too. The 2 systems are similar, each has its own strengths & weaknesses, but they both make money, period.
There are obviously more bashes and allegations of wrongdoing by Porter than there are praises for his program, in this thread. If he really is "Peter Bresko" and not Steve Porter, and he really screwed people or stole from people in some checkered past, I don't know about it. But there are a few outright wrong facts above, and for the record, I'm gonna clear those up right now:
1. BABS is a one-time $197 charge. There are NO ongoing $200-per-month charges, and unlike sellers of other courses, this guy never sends you ANY upsell or JV follow-up emails. I get a shitload daily from all the other "gurus"
2. The guy DOES respond, beyond the call of duty, to support requests. He has responded within 24 hrs. to my emails and support tickets, and he's the only product seller I know who puts his real phone number right on his sales page, then actually returns the calls. Within the first 14 days of buying his product, I needed some questions answered, and he spent 2 long phone conversations of over an hour each talking to me about all aspects of the program and IM strategies in general.
3. He makes it very clear that he's making MUCH more money from using his system than selling it (understandable at a measly $200 a pop,) so it's pretty hard to imagine him risking the huge expense and possible jail time of stealing someone else's shit and selling it as his own. I own phpBay and use it in connection with both BABS and MAGE, it's a great adjunct plugin, but that's all it is, a PLUGIN, not a total autoblogging system, so the guys above who said it was comparing apples & oranges were right on.
4. So with all that, it's pretty hard to believe that the generous Steve Porter who is selling & supporting BABS is the same guy as this supposed thief "Peter Bresko." If he is the same person, boy has he changed his stripes! Anyway, I would suggest anyone planning to rip him a new one on this forum, should shut up, spend $197 on BABS and $79 on phpBay, see that they aren't even close to a rip-off of each other, then use them together and make 10 times that much in your first month alone and find better things to do with your life than hunting down "Peter Bresko."
